The solo singer takes center stage in Euripides' late tragedies. Solo song - what the Ancient Greeks called monody - is a true dramatic innovation, combining and transcending the traditional poetic forms of Greek tragedy. At the same time, Euripides uses solo song to explore the realm of the interior and the personal in an expanded expressive range. Contributing to the current scholarly debate on music, emotion, and characterization in Greek drama, this book presents a new vision for the role of monody in the musical design of Ion, Iphigenia among the Taurians, Phoenician Women, and Orestes. Drawing on her practical experience in the theater, Catenaccio establishes the central importance of monody in Euripides' art.

À la fin des années 1980, l'audition au disque de Pelléas et Mélisande, conforte la vocation de Joël Pommerat : ± Je veux écrire un théâtre qui serait de l'opéra sans musique. ? Après la tempête wagnérienne et au-delà de son esthétique symboliste assumée, l'oeuvre de Claude Debussy a pacifié l'équilibre dramatique entre le texte et la musique. Les spectacles de Pommerat peuvent-il être envisagés à l'aune de l'histoire de ces interactions artistiques ? De quelle manière ses expériences musicales et sonores ont-elles façonné son imaginaire ? Que reste- t-il de cette impulsion première dans ses réalisations avec la Compagnie Louis Brouillard et à l'opéra, à l'heure où s'estompent les frontières entre les formes spectaculaires ?

Music continues to be immensely influential in key developments of theatrical practices. In this study of musicality in the theatre, David Roesner offers a revised view of the nature of the relationship between music and theatre. The theoretical scope of the book is developed from a wide range of case studies, some of which are re-readings of the classics of theatre history (Appia, Meyerhold, Artaud, Beckett), while others introduce or rediscover less-discussed practitioners such as Joe Chaikin, Thomas Bernhard, Elfriede Jelinek, Michael Thalheimer and Karin Beier.

Presupposing no specialist musical knowledge, this book offers a fresh perspective on the dramatic role of music in the plays of Shakespeare and his early seventeenth-century contemporaries. Simon Smith argues that many plays used music as a dramatic tool, inviting culturally familiar responses to music from playgoers. Music cues regularly encouraged audiences to listen, look, imagine or remember at dramatically critical moments, shaping meaning in plays from The Winter's Tale to A Game at Chess, and making theatregoers active and playful participants in playhouse performance. Drawing upon sensory studies, theatre history, material texts, musicology and close reading, Smith argues for the importance of music in familiar and less well-known plays including Antony and Cleopatra, Othello, The Revenger's Tragedy, Sophonisba, The Spanish Gypsy and A Woman Killed With Kindness.
